Hi My uncle want to purchase a car in Pakistan. As per there government policy they need to stamp on his British passport for verification. I have undermentioned queries plz help me out Is it allow to stamp on passport for verification? Should he pay the tax to HRMC on purchasing a vehicle outside UK?

Hi,

We can only answer HMRC queries on this forum so as regards the validity of stamping a passort please contact the Home Office.

If your uncle is importing the vehicle in to the UK then this will attract a VAT charge of 20%.

There may also be customs duties payable on the vehicle arriving in the UK. We would recommend speaking to our International Trade Team regarding any duties which may be payable.
